Description
Design and install automatic fire sprinkler systems with confidence using the NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, 2022 Edition. As the industry benchmark for design and installation, this standard is essential for engineers, contractors, and inspectors working to protect people and property from fire hazards.
The 2022 Edition incorporates the latest research and technology to address modern storage challenges and installation complexities. A major update includes the new Chapter 26, which provides comprehensive protection schemes for single-row rack storage of Group A plastics, eliminating the need for redundant in-rack sprinklers in many scenarios. The standard also refines the rules for Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) sprinklers, clarifying their location relative to obstructions. Additionally, it offers new incentives for using nitrogen generators, allowing for exemptions from certain air venting requirements in dry pipe systems.
Key Updates in the 2022 Edition:
-
Single-Row Rack Storage (Chapter 26): New protection criteria for single-row racks with solid shelves, offering more design flexibility.
-
ESFR Sprinklers: Clarified guidelines for placing ESFR sprinklers around obstructions to ensure effective fire suppression.
-
Nitrogen Generators: New exemptions for air vents in dry pipe systems when nitrogen generators are used, reducing corrosion risks.
-
Obstruction Rules: Consolidated and clarified rules for sprinkler obstructions to simplify compliance.
-
Remote Monitoring: Updated allowances for automated testing and remote monitoring of system components.
